Miniature donkeys are herd animals and they need the companionship of other herd type animals. While it is possible to get them to bond with horses, goats, and even cattle, the best companion for a donkey is another donkey, therefore, our preference is placing our donkeys into homes having at least one other donkey as a companion. We very, very rarely allow one of our donkeys to go to a home without other donkeys. Please keep this in mind when inquiring about any of our donkeys!

 

People have often asked us what the fascination is with donkeys. Well, the answer to us is their wonderful personalities. They are so friendly and easy to handle, are safe to be around, and are less expensive to keep than other equines. Miniature donkeys are very trustworthy around children, the elderly and the handicapped. They are easily trained to pull a cart, can be shown, and can even be ridden by small children. They are the perfect backyard pet!

If you are interested in any of our donkeys, please call or email with any questions you may have. All inquiries are promptly answered. If you are looking for something special, contact us as we may have others available who are not currently listed here. Delivery is available in most circumstances for an added fee, or we'd be happy to meet you part way. Due to their sociable nature, please note that we will not allow one lone donkey to go to a home that does not offer at least one other donkey as a companion!

Click here to see Murphy's complete pedigree!

Murphy was added to our farm in 2000. She is one of our "foundation" brood jennets who has helped to build up our herd through the years with her wonderful foals, several of which have remained her on our farm as brood jennets. Murphy has had 7 foals for us over the past 10 years. Out of those 7, 4 were jennets, 3 were jacks. She has produced black, dark brown, and gray foals for us when bred to black and red jacks.

Murphy is the dam of the following foals:

Diascia, brown jennet born  in 2000(retained in our herd);

Pretty Morgan, black jennet born in 2002;

Major, black jack born in 2004 (herdsire in New Jersey);

Charlie Brown, dark brown jack born in 2005;

Morning Melody, gray jennet born in 2007 (retained in our herd);

Percy, dark brown jack born in 2008;

Teresa, gray jennet born in 2010 (offered for sale with her mom).

Murphy has loads of personality. We know her very well and will be sad to see her leave, but the time has come for us to part with some of our brood jennets to make room for the younger generation we have retained over the past several years. Murphy is a perfect, "model" brood jennet. She breeds back easily and she has always foaled for us without assitance and without any problems. All of her foals have been healthy and Murphy herself has never seen the vet other than for routine exams and vaccinations. She will make a pefect starter donkey for someone looking to get their feet wet with breeding, as she is experienced enough to do all of the work for you and teach you along the way.

Murphy has a tiny gray jennet foal by her side until September 2010 when she can be weaned. We are open to selling the two as a pair, in which case they could go to their new home after the foal is 1 month old. We will also hold Murphy for you with a deposit if you are interested in her alone. In this case, she will be able to leave our farm in September when her foal is weaned. Murphy is registered, and has also been microchipped. Her vaccinations are up to date, as is her de-worming, hoof care and quarterly Selenium booster.

I can safely say that Timmy is the most spoiled and most lovable donkey on our farm this spring. Timmy's mom rejected him at birth, so after she contributed to his well being by allowing us to milk the colostrum from her for him, she was turned back out with the other girls and little Timmy was left for us to bottle feed. Timmy has two surrogate "mom's" though. His 4 legged surrogate mom is an 8 month old jennet who we pulled from our weanling group and paired with him to help show him the ropes. She has been doing an awesome job both entertaining him by playing with him and by teaching him how to eat grain, how to pick at the grass and hay and how to drink from a water bucket.

Timmy's 2 legged surrogate mom is my own mother. She is the only one of us who is home all day, so she fell into the job of bottle feeding Timmy round the clock. Timmy drinks milk replacer from a baby bottle and at 1 month old, we've now started giving him foal-lac pellets which he's taking to quite well.

Timmy is active and social, he loves his people family and he loves the company of his donkey friend as well. When he is old enough to wean away from the bottle feedings and milk replacer, we know that we will have to separate him from his donkey surrogate "mom" and pair him up with another jack foal closer to his age. Although it will be so hard to see him go, we know that we will be looking for the perfect home for Timmy when the time comes. We would like to see him go to a home with a few donkeys, not a huge herd, at least while he's still in his weanling/yearling years. Timmy is so used to round the clock attention, we want his new home to be one that he will be given lots and lots of attention from his new owners.

As with all of our donkeys, we require Timmy to go to a home having at least one other donkey as a friend. Timmy will be given his first round of vaccinations when old enough and will also be registered prior to leaving our farm. If you feel you can offer Timmy the type of home we're looking to find for him, a loving family home, get in touch with us and come visit him in person.

Titan is thick boned and built like a Ford Truck (or... a Nissan Titan.. as the case may be!) He is so loveable and will make a terrific pet for someone. I expect him to mature out to 33-34" based on his background. He would make such a flashy driving or show donkey with his dark, dark color. He has a slightly visable cross at this time and the only color on him at all is an intermediate brown muzzle and a tiny bit of brown in his ears. The rest is all black. Titan can be weaned in August and as with all of our donkeys, he must go to a home having at least one other donkey as a buddy. Titan will be microchipped, registered, and will have had his first round of vaccinations prior to leaving our farm.

A very sweet jennet foal, Trixie will make a friendly pet or valuable future brood jennet for someone. She has a colorful background, with many spots, reds and browns in the first few generations. Trixie is our first foal out of Ivan, a Windcrest Java son, and the first born of Gypsy as well. We are very happy with what this pairing has produced. Trixie is nice and square and will likely mature small in the 32-33" range.

Piper is Lilac's first baby, and as you can see from the photos, she's absolutely perfect. Her little spitfire attitude matches her beauty too! Piper should mature small, in the 32" range. She's perfectly square, nice straight legs, even bite, and her background is filled with color and small sizes. We look for Piper to become a fantastic brood jennet one day. She is in the process of being registered and has already been microchipped per the miniature donkey registry's new identification guidelines.

Cori is a beautiful 3 ½ year old jennet who was born here on our farm. Her rich dark brown color, almost black in the summer sun, mixed with her small size and nice build made her an exciting addition to our brood band. Cori had her first foal, Timothy James, on 4/4/10. We are very pleased with this little jack. We have decided, however, to offer Cori to a new home at this time because she had difficulty bonding with her newborn. While she allowed us to milk her and bottle feed little Timmy for several days, she would not allow Timmy to nurse so we have been bottle feeding him with powdered milk replacer ever since.

We've been told by several breeders that some jennets will reject a foal one year and the next year do just fine with a new baby. Others have had the jennet reject a second time and opted to sell the jennet as a pet. There is really no way of knowing what Cori's reaction would be to having future foals. We are offering Cori at a much lower price than we would otherwise and will let her future as either a pet or brood jennet up to you. She is extremely friendly and easy to handle and is the picture of good health. Cori was DNA tested as a foal, she is microchipped, registered, current on vaccinations, deworming, hoof care and selenium boosters. She is a sweetheart who will be missed here on our farm.

This little girl reminds you of a tiny porcelain doll. She is so very little we decided to name her in honor of my 4 foot 10 inch mom, "Carol"! Don't worry, my mom is honored to have this little donkey be her namesake! Caroline is a perfect little package -- great pedigree, awesome square build, and the classic gray color that we find many of our customers prefer because, they say, when they imagine having a little donkey, gray is what they think of!

Caroline should mature on the tiny side, around 32", if even that. Her dam, Peep, is one of our best producers and happens to be the eldest donkey in our herd. She happens to be a Charlie Bandito grand-daughter. We've kept Peep around for a reason, and little Caroline is the perfect example of why. She would be a good pick to add a little gray back into your brood band, or if you are looking to add some red lines that Caroline brings to the table through her sire's side -- a little Lawzyday Cherokee & Sugar Daddy, mixed with LCR Valintino 50 and even LN Redsonnehi. Caroline is a wonderful example of some of those old favorite tried and true bloodlines brought together in one tiny package. As a coming 2 year old, Caroline remains small in size and very correct in her conformation. She has thickened up since her early "petite" days as a weanling. Caroline has been microchipped, registered, is current on vaccinations, hoof care, deworming and selenium boosters. She is a very sweet natured young jennet.

Sometimes naming foals can get a bit challenging, but little Jodie's name came about very easily. She was born on my husband's birthday, and his name is Joe... last name starts with a D... so, "Jodie" just seemed fitting! This little girl is very sweet and should remain quite small. She has a nice build and great pedigree behind her especially on her sire's side which is loaded with reds and small sizes. Come see her in person, we think you will like her just as much as we do!
